Can AI Catch What Doctors Miss? | Eric Topol | TED
AI could propel the biggest transformation in the history of medicine, says physician-scientist Eric Topol. He explains how sophisticated AI models can interpret medical images as well or better than human experts can — and, beyond that, even pick up things that human eyes can’t see.

As a people leader, I realized early on to never focus on the metrics alone, but to also focus on the behaviors that drive the metrics.
When cost is the driver in our medical field, and our patients outcomes are the metric, we all perform at an unsatisfactory level. While I am extremely excited for the future of AI in medicine, the cost initiative needs to be addressed to improve the outcomes for our people, and save more lives!

AI can be a valuable tool in healthcare by aiding doctors in analyzing data efficiently. It excels at processing large datasets and identifying patterns, which can be beneficial for early diagnosis or treatment recommendations. However, AI should work alongside, not replace, the expertise of doctors. Human judgment, empathy, and a contextual understanding of patients are essential aspects of healthcare that AI currently lacks. The most effective approach involves a collaborative relationship between AI technology and healthcare professionals.

Living in China, I’ve had experiences where healthcare didn’t catch everything. I used ChatGPT 4 to check my bloodwork and test results, and it pointed out issues my doctor missed or didn’t mention. This really shows the value of AI in healthcare, as Eric Topol’s TED Talk suggests. It’s amazing to see technology becoming an invaluable tool for health insights.

This video is about the potential of AI in healthcare, particularly in medical diagnosis. The speaker, Eric Topol, discusses how AI can be used to analyze medical images, such as retinas and chest x-rays, to identify abnormalities that may be missed by human doctors. He also describes how AI can be used to analyze electronic health records to identify patients at risk for developing certain diseases.
One of the most interesting examples Topol gives is the case of Andrew, a young boy who suffered from three years of pain and other symptoms before finally being diagnosed with occult spina bifida. His mother entered his symptoms into ChatGPT, which was able to make the correct diagnosis. This case highlights the potential of AI to help diagnose rare or difficult-to-diagnose diseases.
Topol also discusses the potential of AI to help doctors save time and improve the patient-doctor relationship. He envisions a future where AI can be used to generate synthetic notes from doctor-patient conversations, freeing up doctors’ time to spend with patients. Additionally, AI could be used to provide patients with reminders and other support services.
Overall, the video is a positive look at the potential of AI in healthcare. Topol acknowledges that there are still challenges to overcome, such as the need for more data and the need to ensure that AI is used ethically. However, he believes that AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare and improve the lives of millions of people.

What’s crazy is the money saved from an AI diagnosis if we can keep this in the hands of the people. My brother in law was charged $500,000 for a diagnosis before we even started talking treatment for brain cancer because it took “expert” after expert so long to figure out what was happening. And then treatment felt like it was totally spit-balled too. By experts. Expensive experts. AI in medicine should take over sooner rather than later. They can’t do worse than we’re doing now.

How do we incentivize AI operators to promote health even if it reduces utilization and medical billing instead of solely identifying more profitable incidentalomas to bill for treatment and monitoring of?
Insurers have little motivation to spend on CKD patients to prevent their progression to dialysis or transplant as those outcomes are paid for by Medicare not the insurer. Will insurers’ AI systems bother to try to prevent CKD progression if the insurer AI operator has little monetary cost or risk incentive to do so? We have already seen an insurer AI system that devalued Black lives and recommended discharge because of their relative underrepresentation in the underlying insurer’s training dataset.

All of this is amazing but something jumped out at me near the end and that was the prioritisation of billing over diagnosis and the benefit to the patient (which come at the end of the benefits list). I’m not attacking the speaker – who is a great guy by all appearances. But his words suggest to me a systemically induced medical mindset that normalises the commercialisation of medical care to the extent that many doctors casually place billing as the primary concern over primary care. This is just how it seemed to me.

Until such a time as becomes unnecessary, AI is dependent on human construction. So, whatever is programmed into AI is going to be the outcome. Human anatomy and everything that can have an affect on it (detrimental or otherwise) is so complex that the medical profession still use human beings as “guinea pigs” for their learning. For AI to ‘catch what doctors miss’ implies;
1) AI will know a lot more about us than doctors do, or
2) the doctor in question has been remiss in his/her duty.
AI should ALWAYS be in the service of human beings to be the most effective in our progress.

As someone who’s had lots of medical imaging, this is fascinating. But I don’t believe this should enter medical practice at this time. It should be reserved for medical research and training. Letting a computer find lesions on an image or analyze EKG patterns can have the unintended consequence of adding too much information and complexity to a diagnosis, which will inevitably raise costs for patients and insurance companies, not to mention the cost of securing huge amounts of patient data. A medical imaging study is supposed to confirm a suspected diagnosis — not look for one. Clinician medical knowledge and intuition are essential to good practice.
If an optometrist sees a retinopathy, they should ask about diabetes and the patients should see a family doctor, who does understand all the comorbidities that go along with it. I see AI as operating in the “back office” helping researchers find seemingly-unrelated relationships and new disease markers. Most important to understand, however, is that just because you get better at finding disease, doesn’t mean the patients will be healthier. On the contrary, USA spends the highest per capita on health, and has some of the worst outcomes. Diagnostic failure is not the cause — rather it is often patients who do not feel that their actions have an effect on their health.
